Federal Executive Orders Relating to Education Featured Photo

Federal Executive Orders Relating to Education

Yesterday President Trump signed several executive orders advancing policies of the new administration and overturning executive action President Biden had taken. Though some of these might be slowed or stopped by lawsuits challenging their legality, many could have impacts on education programs and funding (all executive orders are posted here). With assistance from our colleagues at the Committee for Education Funding in Washington D.C., we wanted to list these in one document with links so you would have the text available for your review. In the coming weeks and months, we will keep you posted on the details and implementation issues involved with many of these that have the most significant impacts on TK-12 schools in California. The Executive Orders include:

We understand that not everyone could attend Chad's engaging and informative session on the "Insights on CP, Let's Talk About It." To ensure you don't miss out on the valuable information shared, we are pleased to provide you with a copy of his slides. We hope these materials serve as a helpful resource.

Providing Support to IB Communities Impacted by the LA Fires

Dear colleagues in California and the greater IB global community,

The California fires dominating the global news have been insurmountably devastating for families in the Los Angeles region. Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this horrible event. For our California schools, please remember that CAWS is there to serve and advocate for you however we can. We all see the immediate impact of what is happening in the LA region, but know the unforeseen long-term effects will be equally challenging. For our California colleagues, whether advocating through the state or with IBO, CAWS will always be your main point of contact for information, advocacy and support.

It's Time to Select Your CAWS 2025 Student of the Year!!

A service that we take great pride in is the opportunity to collaborate with you in annually selecting the CAWS Student of the Year. This initiative not only celebrates the remarkable achievements of our students but also deepens our spirit of community with our member schools. We warmly invite all CAWS Member schools that have paid their fees by the April 2 deadline to participate in this event. Join us in honoring the exceptional talents and hard work of our students.
 
You still have time to complete your CAWS CAWS Membership in order to meet our April 2, 2024 payment deadline. As we all know, it sometimes takes longer than expected for payments to reach CAWS, so if you have submitted your annual payment and do not see your schools name on our CAWS Member School  list. Please check with your district to ensure that payment was sent to Tom Krucli, CAWS Financial Director. If your Spring Break occurs near our deadlines please make sure you complete your membership and application within our deadline windows.
 

The 2025 Student of the Year Application final deadline is April 8, 2024. Each SOTY Award will be $200.00. If you would like CAWS to send the check directly to the student at their home address, please add that information to the box on our application.
 
CAWS looks forward to assisting you in celebrating a special student of your choosing! If possible, we would love to post photos of your award winner on the CAWS website. Please send photos to Robin Oliver at [email protected].
 

Warm regards,
Robin
